Rural Health Transformation Program

Bringing the Hospital Home to Rural America

How the Locus Health Platform Delivers Scalable Remote Patient Monitoring for State RHTP Grant Programs

Where RPM Fits

Virtual care and RPM are the program’s dominant, uncapped spending category. Provider payments are capped at 15% and facilities at 20% — structurally steering states toward technology. 

The 10% ‘catalyst fund’ is one innovation sub-bucket; telehealth and RPM qualify across multiple additional uncapped approved uses, from health IT infrastructure to care delivery innovation.

How Locus Health Supports Rural RHTP Deployments

Enterprise-Grade, Any Population

One platform spanning adult chronic disease, high-risk OB/MFM, pediatric, and oncology populations. Deployed at Boston Children’s, Children’s Health (Dallas), UVA Health, and many other health systems.

Device-Flexible & Rural-Ready

Hardware-agnostic with cellular- and Bluetooth-enabled devices and a simple patient app-based experience. No broadband required — built for the low-connectivity realities of rural settings.

Condition-Specific Monitoring

CGM for diabetes and GDM; BP tracking for preeclampsia and hypertension; COPD, heart failure, and pediatric conditions; oncology symptom and chemo adherence monitoring.

Operational Fit for Small Teams

Real-time dashboards and manage-by-exception alerts minimize staff burden. Branching logic and both device and EHR/EMR integration capabilities maximize data quality and coordinated care with minimal patient effort.

Locus Health is ready to partner with states and health systems to deploy RHTP-funded RPM programs that deliver measurable outcomes from day one.
